Cigarette break

"She would always take a long, meaningful draw on her cigarette before telling the punchline to the jokes that she would love to tell during her cigarette breaks."

Illustration Friday's theme, "punchline." Enjoy!

Orchid

Quick plant sketch! Found my trusty case of favorite pencils and pens, (FINALLY!- lost them during the move), so back to my brush pen. Don't worry! I'll be back to my colored pens and pencils once I'm not super tired and wanting to crash out immediately...

Continuing on the theme...

So, in part from Tyree's suggestion I take a look at MF Husain's work based off of my past few posts (especially inspired by this drawing of his), and trying to combine the fun I had with the colors and lines of the primitive drawing with the themes of the Indian maiden drawing, this is what I came up with- I'm really enjoying the results. Thanks Tyree!! Awesome recommendation! : D (Maybe I'll try coloring in that peacock next!)

Indian Maiden, Part II

Took a suggestion to do another pass on yesterday's Indian maiden and do her in color, so here it is! Thanks afsha! : )

Indian maiden

Was watching a tv program on the History channel about the Taj Mahal and was inspired- enjoy! : )

Komodo dragon

Been reading Douglas Adam's wonderful book, "Last Chance to See," which is basically a travelogue about Adams going around the world tracking down endangered animals and writing about them. A bit travel writing, a bit comedic, a bit conservationist, and all Adams- highly recommend! Anyway, it a very interesting chapter regarding Komodo Dragons which inspired today's drawing... enjoy!

Quick little doodle

Playing around with wallpaper patterns again.
